Chapter 207 Layout Planning
After Liu Shishi and Hu Ge said goodbye to the other two, they took the elevator with their assistants and went straight to the 39th floor of Tengda Technology Building.
The two got out of the elevator and found that the glass door on the 39th floor was closed and they could not pass through.
It was her first time to come to the new workplace of Tengda Company. Without an access card, she could not enter the office area which was nearby.
Jiang Yuanyuan pressed her round face against the cold glass door and looked inside. The corridor of the office area was brightly lit, but there was no one there.
It looked like no one would pass by and open the door in the short term, so he turned around and suggested, "Shishi, why don't you call Mr. Song and ask him to come out and greet you."
"Okay!" Liu Shishi nodded. Standing here and waiting was not a solution, so she took out her cell phone and called Mr. Song.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the call didn't go through. The two looked at each other, both with helpless expressions, staring at each other for a while.
"Let's go to the next floor and find Sister Tiantian!" Liu Shishi called her assistant and stepped into the elevator again.
The layout of the 38th floor is exactly the same as the top floor, and there is also a gate.
Fortunately, I can see people coming and going inside through the glass, unlike the silence upstairs.
The two men stood in front of the glass door, their conspicuous figures soon attracted the attention of a young girl passing by.
The girl was holding a document and walking hurriedly. She looked up at Liu Shishi and Jiang Yuanyuan through the glass. After a brief hesitation, she opened the glass door and walked forward to ask, "Who are you looking for?"
Liu Shishi's eyes fell on the girl's work badge, which read: "Human Resources Department, Zhang Jingxuan."
They were all soldiers under Mr. Song. Liu Shishi had a gentle attitude and a smile on her face. She said politely, "Hello, I'm looking for Jiang Tiantian."
Zhang Jingxuan was surprised when he heard this: "You are looking for Director Jiang? Do you have an appointment?"
While speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him. Not mentioning the fat girl, she looked ordinary, but the one who spoke had an extraordinary temperament, was gentle and beautiful, and looked somewhat familiar.
Liu Shishi explained: "There is no appointment. I am her friend and I need to see her for something at the last minute."
The girl looked confused and muttered, "Strange, how come you guys were allowed up to the lobby on the first floor without a reservation?"
"Forget it, I'll call Sister Tiantian." Seeing that the little girl was hesitating for a long time and didn't seem like someone who could make the decision to let her in, Liu Shishi didn't want to waste any more words.
I took out my phone again and called Jiang Tiantian, asking her to come out to pick me up. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone!
Seeing this, Zhang Jingxuan said softly, "You definitely can't get through. Director Jiang is probably attending an extremely important interview downstairs with the company's leaders. His phone is probably turned off or on silent mode."
Just as Liu Shishi was racking her brains to think of who else she knew in this building, three people standing at the door attracted the attention of others.
"Xiao Zhang, are the documents I need ready? Who are you talking to at the door?"
A familiar voice suddenly came into Liu Shishi's ears. She looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was an old acquaintance. The person speaking was Zhou Yu, the former human resources director of Tengda Culture Company.
Jiang Yuanyuan, who was standing by, obviously recognized Zhou Yu and called out hurriedly, "Boss Zhou! Boss Zhou!"
Zhou Yu was originally waiting in the office for a comrade to deliver a document, but after waiting for a long time and no one showed up, he came out to see what was going on.
As soon as he walked out of the office, he saw his subordinate Zhang Jingxuan talking to someone at the access control counter.
She was very surprised to hear someone calling her out of the blue. She was just a section chief within the group, and being called "General Manager Zhou" was a bit frightening to her.
So he walked over to find out what was going on. When he got closer, he saw the outstanding Liu Shishi. His eyes widened in surprise and he hurried forward: "Hey, Shishi, why are you here?"
Although she was not like Wang Jing and Jiang Tiantian, who followed Song Ci around all day, and did not know the specific relationship between Liu Shishi and the chairman, she could roughly guess that it was nothing more than a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman.
"Sister Zhou, long time no see!" Liu Shishi had a smile on her face, she was very polite, and every move she made was elegant.
Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but mutter, "Boss Zhou, can you let us in?"
Zhou Yu also noticed Jiang Yuanyuan behind Liu Shishi. They were both old employees of Tengda Culture. He understood and invited her warmly: "Please come in. The leaders are busy with important things today. Shishi, please come and sit with me first."
After that, he directed his subordinates, "Xiao Zhang, give me the documents. These two are Director Jiang's friends. I will receive them. You go and do your work."
Zhang Jingxuan handed the documents to his leader, but his eyes kept glancing at Liu Shishi from time to time. After the conversation, he had already recognized her identity.
Full of curiosity but not daring to stay any longer, I could only move slowly away, looking back every three steps, while secretly wondering in my heart why this big star came here today.
Zhou Yu invited the two into his office. There was a desk in the small space, and a long sofa next to it, which almost took up most of the activity space.
She swiftly took out a disposable paper cup and poured tea into it while asking, "Shishi, why did you suddenly come to the group headquarters today?"
Liu Shishi took the tea and responded, "I just finished an interview with Toutiao Entertainment and wanted to come upstairs to take a look, but unfortunately everyone was busy. Sister Zhou, when were you transferred here?"
Zhou Yu sat in his office chair, relaxed, and started chatting: "Boss Wang transferred me here in January. I am now affiliated with the group's human resources department, specifically responsible for compensation and performance work."
Jiang Yuanyuan looked around and smiled secretly, "Boss Zhou, your place is really small. It's not even half the size of the office in the Zhongao Building."
Zhou Yu was very open-minded and didn't care. He had a contented smile on his face: "That's natural. There are many leaders in the headquarters who have higher positions and more power than me. I can get an office to settle down, which is also a favor from President Wang."
Talking about this, she couldn't help but think of what happened at Tengda Culture. Zhang Zhao was very dissatisfied with her work and she worked in fear. Now that she has switched to working in the group, she feels much more relaxed.
Taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Liu Shishi's eyes showed some curiosity: "Is there any important interview at Tengda today?
Zhou Yu did not hide anything and revealed a little information: "This morning, the chairman and senior executives interviewed several important positions, including the group's chief financial officer and the president of the online payment platform Yifutong. These are all important positions related to the future development of the group."
Liu Shishi nodded slightly. She usually stayed by Song Ci's side and was influenced by him. Now she had some knowledge of business matters and knew the importance of the Chief Financial Officer to a large group company. No wonder Mr. Song had no time to answer her call.
At this time, the interviews for senior positions personally hosted by Song Ci, the chairman of the group, have ended. After layers of screening and careful consideration, candidates for several important positions such as the group's CFO, President of Yifutong, and Vice President of Weibo have finally emerged.
In the spacious and bright conference room, Song Ci sat in the main seat with a solemn look on his face. He glanced at the group executives on both sides and spoke in a deep and powerful voice:
"Everyone, the personnel adjustment for the first half of this year has been completed. There may be some new people coming to the company later, but the existing leadership positions will basically remain unchanged."
After this personnel adjustment, Tenda Group will go all out to formally welcome the coming of the great era of mobile Internet.
After a brief pause, he looked at Jiang Tiantian who was sitting in the middle of the conference table and said, "The office should hurry up and draft the appointment documents for the people taking up their posts today. Submit them to General Manager Wang for approval as soon as possible and then submit them to me for signature."
Jiang Tiantian responded quickly: "Okay, Chairman."
Zhang Yong had been paying attention to Song Ci's expression. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, he cleared his throat and asked everyone present, "Does anyone have anything else to say?"
The conference room was silent, no one answered, Zhang Yong immediately asked: "Mr. Song, let's stop here today!"
Song Ci nodded slightly, closed the exquisite fountain pen in his hand, looked up at the Longines watch on his wrist, and announced crisply: "Let's adjourn the meeting!"
Everyone filed out, and Song Ci took out the phone from his pocket. There was a prominent missed call on the screen, and he called back without hesitation. The coldness on his face instantly turned into a touch of tenderness.
"Hey, Shishi. I just finished a meeting and will be back to the office soon. Let's meet on the 39th floor."
In front of the elevator door, Song Ci was staring at the floor display with numbers flashing and jumping continuously. Wang Jing beside him was slightly hunched over and whispering something.
Except for Zhang Yong who was standing calmly nearby, other executives who were waiting for the elevator after the meeting consciously kept a suitable distance from the three giants. The hierarchy of the large group was fully displayed in this small space in front of the elevator.
One of the eight passenger elevators in the building quickly arrived at the floor. Song Ci stepped in first, followed closely by Zhang Yong and Wang Jing.
"Is there anyone else who wants to go up?" Zhang Yong turned around, reached out to press the button for the 39th floor, and asked the people outside the door.
Everyone shook their heads and prepared to wait for the next elevator or the next one. Everyone was tacitly aware of this level boundary.
Not to mention Chairman Song Ci, Zhang Yong and Wang Jing are both shareholders of the company, and the other executives are obviously weaker than the two. Naturally, no one would be ignorant and get on the same elevator with the three giants of transcendent status at this time.
The alloy door slowly closed, and Song Ci instructed: "Lao Zhang, Mr. Chen has just arrived at the company. You should take more care to guide him at work and let him adapt to the rhythm of the group as soon as possible and integrate into the collective."
"Mr. Chen" is the elite who just passed the interview today and won the position of CFO of the group. He is an external hire with an excellent resume and strong capabilities. He was originally a senior executive of Microsoft Greater China.
"I know, don't worry, Mr. Song." Zhang Yong nodded readily.
The elevator ran smoothly all the way and reached the 39th floor in the blink of an eye. When the door opened, the three saw Liu Shishi standing in front of the door with a smile on her face.
Upon seeing Miss Liu, Song Ci smiled warmly: "What time did you finish the interview?"
"Brother Yong, Sister Jing!" Liu Shishi greeted them politely, then said with a smile, "It ended more than half an hour ago. I just came to the 39th floor, but no one was there, so I went downstairs with Yuanyuan to sit for a while. I just received your call, so I asked Yuanyuan to go back first."
"Shishi!" Zhang Yong smiled and nodded.
Wang Jing was very enthusiastic. She stepped forward, took Miss Liu's hand and praised her, "Master Sister is more beautiful again!"
The four of them walked and talked as they walked in lightly. Zhang Yong took the lead, took a few quick steps to open the door, stepped aside politely, and invited the three people to enter the office area.
It was Liu Shishi’s first time here. Her beautiful eyes were full of curiosity and exploration. She kept looking around. She saw the Chief Marketing Officer, the Chief Information Officer... Offices were lined up on both sides of the corridor.
When passing by the doorplate with "COO Office" clearly written on it, Wang Jing waved and said, "Shishi, come and sit with me when you have time." After that, she chuckled and pushed the door open.
Song Ci and Zhang Yong's offices are opposite each other, at the end of the corridor.
As soon as Liu Shishi entered the chairman's office, she looked at the spacious and magnificent interior decoration and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yi Yi, your office is so big, even bigger than the office in the original Modern Building!"
"My office is also the face of the company. It's normal for it to be a little bigger. We can't lose the reputation of the Tengda Group."
Song Ci closed the door, walked quickly to the tea room, and skillfully fiddled with the tea set to prepare tea for his girlfriend. His movements were smooth and flowing, revealing a rare bit of homely warmth.
Liu Shishi walked around the office inside and out. Sometimes she leaned over and gently stroked the antique ornaments in the room with her fingertips. Sometimes she jumped to the bookcase and stroked the spines of the hardcover books one by one with her slender fingers, like a curious baby.
"Drink some water and rest for a while. I'll have someone bring up food later."
Liu Shishi took the cup of water. The tea was just the right temperature to warm her palms.
With curved eyebrows, she stood on tiptoe and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek, then looked up and asked, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon? If you are busy, I will wait for you in the office."
Song Ci pulled Miss Liu to sit on the sofa, and naturally put his arm around her shoulders: "An important guest will come to discuss something at 2 pm, and there will be nothing else to do after that. Then we will pack up and go to the banquet."
Shanhai Capital, one of the two offshore companies under his name, will be temporarily managed by Lin Hao. In the future, it will focus on investments in some traditional industries, taking steady steps to expand its territory.
But Sino-Singapore Investment still lacked a helmsman, and he chose Li Ying, the general manager of the previous Yunfeng Fund, to take over Sino-Singapore Investment.
Li Ying is a top student at MIT with outstanding abilities and high investment acumen. In 2006, she joined Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, an American investment company, and was responsible for the equity investment business of the company's Chinese branch, with excellent performance.
After repeated sincere invitations, Li Ying saw his sincerity and agreed to meet him at Tengda Group in the afternoon and visit the country's largest Internet company.
Song Ci planned that if Li Ying was willing to join Sino-Singapore Investment Company, she would be able to do what she wanted and focus on investment and development in areas such as Internet technology and green energy to expand her influence in the business world.
"Who will I be having dinner with tonight? Should I go back and change into something more formal?" Liu Shishi was thinking about whether she should go back and change into a formal dress.
The person who can invite Mr. Song is obviously not an ordinary person. You can't lose your man's face when you go out. The clothes you are wearing today are fresh and simple, which may not be suitable for the solemn dinner atmosphere.
Song Ci gently pinched Miss Liu's hand and said, "No, I think this outfit is good, it really shows your temperament. We are at the age of youth and vitality, so don't deliberately go for that dignified style.
In the evening, there was a small gathering with Mr. Lei and his wife, and an old friend and his girlfriend. We were all familiar with each other, so we just had to be casual and natural, and there was no need to be restrained. "
When Liu Shishi heard that they were having dinner with the neighbors in Jingyuan that night, she felt much more relaxed and a smile reappeared on her face: "Okay, I'll listen to you and won't bother changing clothes to save trouble."
